I'm trying to remember, but after 26 years it's fuzzy...They were the Dolphins? Colors blue and white? Logo on the jersey was an anchor?
Is this correct?

Edina was loaded with their first merged team after several years as East and West. Dave Maley, Wally Chapman, John DeVoe, Bill Brauer, Dan Carroll, and several other very good players.

I think they closed in the mid- to late-80s, because I remember the White Bear basketball team had like 7 or 8 returning starters the year they won state.

They can have their own thread then...
And leave us poor White Bear lake folk to our memories.
It is quite alright, and thanks for the info. I personally did not realize that Edina had that many good players on their team that year. Although their parents probably just bought their sons the spots on those college teams.The Huge Hook wrote:Sorry, you are right........Just trying to add some info for a game 25+ years ago.Don't_Cost_Nothin wrote:Thats great...The Huge Hook wrote: Edina was loaded:

I guess you'll just have to continue with your guessing game for that answer.Neutron 14 wrote:And wbmd was class of???wbmd wrote:and the last graduating class was 1983.Neutron 14 wrote: Mariner opened in the fall of 72, Class of 74 was the first graduating class.
So it is White Bear Mariner D? At least we don't have a lot of years to guess.wbmd wrote:I guess you'll just have to continue with your guessing game for that answer.Neutron 14 wrote:And wbmd was class of???wbmd wrote: and the last graduating class was 1983.

A few returning letter winners were cut before the season even began. The roster out of try-outs was all seniors.O-townClown wrote:Huge, yes! You provided even more clarity on what I remember fairly well. The Varsity was pretty much picked with returning Varsity players from East and West.
Mariner then merged into White Bear Lake, but the Bears never quite replicated the success of Edina. I seem to remember that Mariner team had a lot of seniors. Maybe that's why.
"D" could be defense I suppose, but I've always thought Dolphin....Don't_Cost_Nothin wrote: So it is White Bear Mariner D? At least we don't have a lot of years to guess.
Maybe we could goat wbmd into giving up the meaning by making up ridiculous meanings for the D?Neutron 14 wrote:"D" could be defense I suppose, but I've always thought Dolphin....Don't_Cost_Nothin wrote: So it is White Bear Mariner D? At least we don't have a lot of years to guess.
Not really a small school. Besides, the school is still open now. It's where the juniors and seniors go. What was White Bear High School is where the freshmen and sophomores go.chillout wrote:So why exactly did the school only open for a couple of years and then merge back? Just seems odd.
Mariner was open about as long as Edina West was.
It's weird looking at that class of '81 page and thinking that was a White Bear school with those colors. Pretty small school from the looks of it as well.
